Amethi, Rae Bareli and Kaiserganj: The campaign for the Lok Sabha elections is at its peak. Political parties have also announced candidates for most of the seats. The two-phase voting has also ended, but suspense still remains on three seats in Uttar Pradesh. These three seats are Amethi, Rae Bareli and Kaiserganj. Out of these three seats, Congress has to declare candidates in two seats, Amethi and Rae Bareli, while BJP has to declare candidates in Kaiserganj. Now only 4 days are left for the last date of nomination for all three seats.
First of all let’s talk about Amethi and Rae Bareli. There is talk about Amethi that Congress can field Rahul Gandhi from here, but it is believed that he is not ready to contest from here because if he wins the elections from both Wayanad and Amethi, then he will get one seat. Will have to leave in any case. In such a situation, wherever he leaves the seat, a wrong message will be sent to the party workers and voters there. The decision regarding Rahul’s election has to be taken by the Gandhi family only.
There is a problem regarding Rae Bareli also
On the other hand, UP Congress leaders want Priyanka Gandhi to contest elections from Rae Bareli seat. He has also requested Priyanka’s name before the party high command. But it is believed that Priyanka is not ready for this. Priyanka says that if all three Gandhis reach Parliament, a wrong message will be sent because Congress is a national party. Regional parties can do this.
According to sources, there was a discussion between Priyanka Gandhi, who reached Gulbarga in Karnataka on Monday evening, and President Mallikarjun Kharge regarding Amethi and Rae Bareli seats. It is believed that a decision regarding the candidates on both the seats may be taken tonight or tomorrow morning before Rahul Gandhi leaves for Bhind campaign. It is possible that the party may announce it tomorrow.
Suspense in BJP on Kaiserganj seat
At the same time, BJP has not yet been able to decide its candidate for Kaiserganj seat. BJP leader Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh is the MP from Kaiserganj. Brij Bhushan has been MP from this seat for many times, yet BJP is taking time to declare its candidate. However, Brij Bhushan is campaigning vigorously. Recently his statement also came out. In which he said that he was also a contender for the ticket from Kaiserganj. However, he also said that whoever contests against BJP in Kaisarang will win with huge votes.
